Abstract		Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buergers disease) is a peripheral vascoocclusive disease of unknown etiology. It occurs mainly in smalland medium-sized arteries, usually of the distal lower extremities of young males who lack atherosclerosis and vascular risk factors, except for a heavy smoking habit. Thromboangiitis obliterans is frequently associated with phlebitis migrans and raynauds syndrome. The involvement of the upper extremities happens only occasionally. However, clinical definition diagnosis are challenging as the clinical picture is often very similar to many other vasculitic or atherosclerotic disorders.
Summary		Obliterantni tromboangiitis (Buergerjeva bolezen) je vnetna bolezen arterij neznane etiologije. Prizadene predvsem srednje in male arterije udov. Najbolj pogosto se pojavi pri mladih moških, ki nimajo znakov ateroskleroze in so brez dejavnikov tveganja zanjo razen hudega kajenja. Običajno zajame arterije distalno od a.popliteje, neredko pa tudi arterije zgornjih udov, distalno od a.brahialis. Pogost spremljajoč pojav je migratorni povrhnji flebitis. Diagnostika je velik izziv, saj je klinični potek podoben mnogim drugim vaskulitisom in nekaterim aterosklerotičnim zapletom.
